What True Merit Will r,o.

The unprecedented sale of Boschee's
German Syrup within a few years, has
astonished the world. 1t IS without
doubt the safest and best remedy ever
discovered for the speedy and efiectual
cure of coughs, colds and the ~severest
lung troubles. 1t acts on an entirely
different principle from the usual pre-
scriptions given by ~physians, as it does
not dry up a cough and leave the disease
still in the system, but on the contrary
removes the cause of the trouble, heals
the parts affected and leaves them in a
purely healthy condition. A bottle
kept in the house for use when the
diseases make their appearance, will
save doctors bills and a long spell of
serious illness. A trial will ~convice you
of these facts. 1t is positively sold by
all druggists and general dealers in the
land. Price, IS It's, large bottles.

The Engineering and Mining Journal
Of August Goth essays to give the tin in
tererests Of the Black Hills another slap
in the face. After stating the revolving
fact that it believes the statements made
by Mr.. White in his London letters
were, SO far as they anne under its
notice, fair statements of fact, it vol
unteers some good advice to the papers
of the Black Hills. 1t says: "If the
Black Hills papers would unite in
urging the Harvey Peak or any other
owners of tin claims to develop them
and actually prove the existence Of the
metal IL permanent and paying quanti-
ty, they would do their territory good
service" The question naturally sug-
gests itself, how can the papers of the
Black Hills succeed in the face Of so
much opposition? The Engineering
and Mining Journal and Thos. White
have materially interferred with the
endeavors of the papers Of the Black
Hills in the matter Of urging the devel-
opment Of the tin interests Of this see
ton. And why? The reason is obvi'
Gus. The Engineering and Mining
Journal, like Thos. White is in the EN-.
ploy of the same parties. 1t is said by
men who ought to know, that there is
strong opposition to the development OF
tin in this country so strong, in fact,
that it is greatly feared the Journal has
been well paid for the lies it has pub
lished concerning these same mines
The Journal must have an object in
taking the interest it has in the tin Of
the Black Hills, and why not a peculiarly
object? If the Journal were really
sincere in what it has to say concerning
Dakota tin, it would make a personal
investigation or adopt some other means
of ascertaining, beyond a possible doubt
the existence or non-existence of tin in
paying quantities it this section of the
United States. Unless the Journal takes
some steps to rid itself of the cloud o.
suspicion that now hangs heavily Owe
it in the minds of many in this section
the conclusion will be that the journal
and Tom White are working for the
same English company.-Rapid Repub-
lican. 25.

The Denver Journal of Commerce is
authority for the statement, that from a
block Of rough mica taken from the
mines Of southern Colorado, exactly
$500 pieces can be sliced off. We fail
to see the advantage, if any there be,
in such extraordinary thin sheets, and
hold that Black Hills mica is more
desirable on account of its thicker
sheets, it being only susceptible of being
split 1929 times to the inch.

Sparks Still Sparkling.

The following Washington special
telegram indicates that sparks continues
to sparkle in his own unique and
peculiar way:
Secretary Lamar has little further
use for Sparks, whose policy has about
become void Of practical results. His
indifference to anybody's rights, his
neglect of his office to push his own
insane theories, and his heartiess OPP
preston Of the settlers have weaned
from him the powerful support of the
head of the interior department. Two
cases now lying before the secretary,
and soon to be made public, show the
brutality of the commissioners policy to
It's full extent. One of them, IA Montana
case, shows that the local officials of a
land office deliberately charged a poor
mar $500 double minimum price, for a
homestead entry after he had lived six
years continuously upon the land. and
that the land commissioner sustained
the local officers and refused to return
the man his money. In the other case
an Illinois man had taken up a home
stead in Dakota, and put over 81 900
worth OF improvements III the way Of
a good house and barn, wells, fencing,
etc, upon it. After living on it eight
months his wife became insane, and
because he took her to Illinois to place
her In an insane asylum and STAYED
some weeks to take care Of his infant
children, Sparks held that he abandon
ed his claim, improvements and all, and
could not commute the entry upon his
return. Still the cattle companies
flourish, and the miles of fences stand"

Propositions were made during the
conference in Custer, by the Methodists
for bids of land and money for the es-
adjustment there of a school or semin-
airy. If the church is in earnest with
their good intentions and mean to go to
work with such an end in view, Custer
should not take a back seat from n
town in the Hills. There are other
things that these people will consider
beside the amount of land and money
subscribed by a town. They will look
to the health Of the teachers and
students, the attractive surroundings
and the social advantages Of a place.
Look whore they will, these induce
ments cannot be set forth any clearer
than at Custer. We hope to see the
move gain definite shape with Custer to
the front with liberal donation to secure
the first educational college in the
Southern Hills. Educational institu-
tions are among the most attractive to
induce the better class of people to
choose a home in a town or community:

Nothing could more clearly indi cate
the intention of Thomas III. White to
write down" the tin interests Of the
Black Hills regardless Of truth than his
assertion in his letter which appears in
the London Financial News of the 9th
ultimo, that if the tin ore in the Harvey
Peak company's property were pure
silver it would not pay for working. Let
us see. The Engineering and Mining
Journal, which endorses Mr.. White as
a truthful gentleman, states that the
Eta mill was run for thirty days, and
in that time seven tons of cassiterite
we're saved. If this had been pure
silver it would have been worth 1924 900,
which would ordinarily be considered a
very profitable return. In a number of
his assertions, but in none so clearly as
in this, has MIR. White indicated his
desire to injure the Harvey Peak COM
pany and to prevent the enlistment of
capital in the development Of Black
Hills tin. The wild assertion above
quoted stamps him as a man who has
not the least regard for truth-a man
who does not scruple to lie o%utrageously
in order to work incalculable injury to
the country in which he earns his bread.
The accusation by the Engineering and
Mining Journal that the people Of the
Rlack Hills have perSpcnte1 White no.
cause he has told the truth is simply
silly. White has not been punished as
his nefarious, malicious work deserves.
The revocation of his commission as
deputy United States mineral surveyor
was right. He was himself unfit to hold
such a commission, and each succeeding
letter written by him to the London
Financial News goes a step farther to
warrant the surveyor general of Dakota.

The Ute War,

Denver, Aug. pa telegram from
Meeker, by courier to Glenwood, says
Information has been received that at
Thursdays battle with Colorow there
were five whites killed instead of two,
and four wounded. Seven Indians and
two squaws were killed. There has
been no fighting since Thursday, but
over 600 indians are camped within six
miles. The Indians are ready to fight
at the least provocation. The loss of
nearly 800 ponies and their squaws has
made them wild and they are ready for
revenge. Colorow says he can get
heap young bucks from White river ;
heap Uncompahgre, heap Navajo, who
are young and want heap fight, and
unless white men 60 back Colorow send
for them" If he should make an attack
the troops and settlers estimate that it
will take the combined effu.ts of 1000
regulars to drive them back to the
reservation.
DOESN'T EXPECT TROUBLE.
Omaha, Aug. 29.-Gen. Crook, upon
leaving for the scene Of the Ute Indian
outbreak said: We are going Indian
hunting on our own account. I have
been instructed by the president to re-
turn old Colorow to his reservation and
that is my errand. l shall haye no
troops with me. / shall visit Colorow
in person and l have no doubt Of my
ability to convince him that the best
place for him is at home. | shall hold
IA personal consultation with him, and
shall probably grant some concessions
which should have been allowed long
ago. | shall proceed direct to Meeker
and from there will go on horseback TO
him in the mountains. Guides will
conduct the latter portion of the way.
My visit will be a brief one.
